Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

"Although the time is still a little different... it seems that {location} has been determined."

Roland looked at his hands, which showed no abnormalities at all, and felt the gears of time spinning madly at his fingertips as if they were burning. The corners of his mouth curled up in a meaningful arc.

"Since they have set up such a suitable stage for you, it is hard to refuse such a kind invitation. My soldiers, go and say hello to the princess in the fairy tale."

Behind him, the dark shadows transformed into countless thin lines, winding out like snakes. Pairs of scarlet eyes flashed by in the mournful night wind like extinguished candles.

Chapter 199 Black Shadow Corps, attack!

Kuonji Yuzu silently watched Aozaki Aoko leave quietly and closed the door of the mansion.

Today's class time was extended by two hours compared to the original plan, which meant that they still had to go out on patrol at this quiet time.

The reason why Miss Witch insisted on doing this was not because she really held a grudge against Aozaki Aoko for eating sushi alone... at least it was not entirely because of this.

Recently, the attempts against the great barrier have become more and more excessive, even to the point where they are ready to make a move at the fulcrum of the spiritual vein. This has touched the bottom line of Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu.

In addition to the large barrier used to monitor abnormal fluctuations in magical power, Misaki City also has another barrier, which is a small barrier set up by all spirit vein managers to guide and utilize the magic power generated from the land.

Through this technology, not only can disasters such as spiritual disasters be eliminated in advance, but the power of managers on the land can also be greatly enhanced. Tohsaka Tokiomi once used this technology to adjust and carefully protect the land on the spiritual veins, increase its fortune, and make the lessee's business flourish, thereby earning high rents, recreating this landlord-like behavior in modern times.

Although she also possesses the skills in this area, Kuonji Arizuma is a completely different type from Tōsaka Tokiomi in terms of personality and influence, so she just maintains the original arrangement.

That is to say, by relying on the five fulcrums carved on the earth, the internal circulation is made and the flow of magic power is artificially managed, thereby borrowing the magic power of the earth veins and allowing the magician to obtain the same bonus as the workshop.

The fulcrum where the magic power is currently gathered is the Kuonji Mansion.

This is also the main reason why the reclusive and lonely witch agreed to become Aozaki Aoko's teacher and allowed her to live in the mansion she cherished.

Once something happens to the spiritual veins of other fulcrums, it will inevitably affect her.

By that time, even if precautions were taken in advance, the mansion, as the fulcrum, might be damaged by the out-of-control magic power. Kuonji Yuzu definitely did not intend to gamble on the possibility of this unstable factor.

This is the most important legacy her parents left her, and out of practical considerations, Kuonji Arizuma has no intention of giving up this home advantage.

Therefore, after noticing the attacker's trace, she had already started setting up the trap.

Before leaving the mansion, Kuonji Yuju gently brushed across the void in front of him. Just like the scene when the King's Treasure was activated, ripples like water waves appeared in the void, and a gorgeous mirror emerged from it.

In the system of fairy tale magic, compared to magicians like Aruba, its power is more like magic in the conventional sense, relying on various environments and strange toys to exert extraordinary power.

As for Kuonji Yuzu, who is not good at sports, he only needs to be like the "king" in chess, responsible for coordinating the situation during the battle and placing the chess pieces.

This mirror is her most commonly used toy. Although it is not as detailed as the Song of Sixpence in terms of surveillance, it is not inferior to any props in monitoring fixed locations. Not to mention that there is a magic egg with an alien world on the inside of the mirror itself, which makes it first-class for defense.

When it switched to a fixed location in Misaki City, Kuonji Yuzu couldn't help but frown.

"Has it already invaded? We need to lure it out quickly."

For the immature Aozaki Aoko, the burden is too heavy and needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

"Aoko will probably go to the park and take a casual walk around and be lazy like usual. This probably won't leave me much time, but it will be enough."

Youzhu said softly, walking towards the lush forest below.

Although she was alone and didn't even know if this was mixed with the methods left by Aozaki Touko, who had become a crown magician, but there was no trace of fear in the witch's pupils as pure black as ink jade.

——A rare witch, who has confidence in the way of magic that is no less than anyone else.

Even if she hadn't inherited the special fairy tale magic, her achievements would not be lower than Orange's.

Because she is an out-of-specification existence.

For a magician, talent is more important than hard work. Even though Waver has a talent like the Discerning Eye, he can't make any further progress after reaching the level of the Tenor because of the limitations brought by his innate magic circuits.

It cannot be changed later.

Magic Circuits can be roughly compared in terms of quality, quantity, and organization.

The quantity determines the amount of magic power, the quality determines the upper limit of the power of the spell, and the composition is even more mysterious and is itself a special symbol.

Although Aozaki Aoko is an apprentice magician, her talent as a magician is quite mediocre. According to the data, the quality is at the C level, and the quantity is even more ordinary, only at the E level. The composition is also within the normal range, but her extremely outstanding characteristics make her destined to be worthy of being forgotten.

Orange is much better in this regard, with the quality reaching the Ex level and the quantity being B+. Although the quantity is only average compared to those noble families in the Clock Tower, the overwhelming precision is enough for her to ignore these defects.

As for Kuonji Yuzu, her magic circuit quality is A+, quantity is A++, and the composition is heterogeneous.

This is something that cannot be achieved through improved bloodline, or in other words, it is impossible for humans to possess magic circuits of this level.

Because the number has reached the point where both the bones and internal organs have magic circuits, only an artificial talent with Illya's characteristics can reproduce this situation, which is also the best proof that Kuonji Yuzu is a witch.

In addition to her heterogeneous composition, if we must compare her, her classification would be the same as that of a certain Root Princess, both of whom should not be classified as magi.

Even though she knew about Aozaki Touko's achievements, Kuonji Yuzu was still confident that she could win the magic battle.

The fairy tale witch walked with soft steps into the Forest of No Return below.

As a place where wild animals with nowhere else to go rely on for survival, this forest is located in the suburbs, on the ambiguous boundary between hills and cities, and still retains its past appearance.

Even though the ancient trees have been cut down, the warm leaf mold has been cultivated, and the number of the little birds that always tilt their heads curiously has become fewer and fewer, the green with real power is still tenaciously alive. Unless the light of civilization can really grow enough to erode the years they have been cultivated, they will occupy this mysterious area forever until the end of the planet.

In this forest, winter came earlier than usual. The cold wind stung the skin like a knife, and the entire calf was immersed in the breath of ice and snow.

The white breath was fleeting, set against the thick mist, bringing a damp and cold breath and a cold current that soaked the entire earth.

The witch in black was like a small boat lost in the sea of ​​fog, gazing at the night that floated by like the breath of the dead.

In the depths of the night, on the other side of the stream, two unusual figures made the girl raise her eyebrows slightly.

Two faceless men walked out from their hiding place, opened their crescent-shaped bloody mouths towards the witch, and slowly approached her like a snail, stepping into this forest that did not belong to them.

The trickle of the stream as they flowed through it sounded like the explosion of a campfire.

"Is there anyone sensible here today?"

Kuonji Yuju asked calmly.

But the two men with slit mouths who looked like urban legends did not communicate with each other. Instead, as the distance between them got closer, they seemed unable to restrain themselves and made moves to pounce.

"I see. You're a hired gravekeeper... your job is just surveillance for now. Your previous actions were because you couldn't control your desires?"

The girl raised an eyebrow and tilted her head slightly.

"It failed... But judging from his appearance, he is a capable magus. It's a bit of a stretch to use him for training."

Kuonji Yuju sighed softly, but didn't care. He took out a glass cat that was darker than the night with his right hand.

"Goodbye, guests. Farewell is but a moment. I bid you farewell."

The glass cat pendant fell from Youzhu's hand, but it was not an action of discarding or throwing away, but rather some kind of ritual.

The bell was like a stone dropped into the water, creating ripples and then disappearing without a trace.

Under the girl's feet, unknown fluctuations began to emanate, radiating to the entire forest. Everything here was transformed into her world, and the rhythm of silence began to replace the rules with a posture that was superior to the barrier.

Then, the night turned black again.

The darkness on the ground seemed to have a shadow, turning into a veil-like haze that gradually rose and spread to the surrounding sky and earth.

In the magic system, it is not uncommon to utilize the surrounding environment. The workshop is a master of this. In order to achieve certain special rituals, it is also common to use rituals to create the conditions for achieving the environment in advance.

But using only one medium, it was also accomplished in a way that would make many experts who have devoted their lives to this field die with regret.

Because this is unreasonable. The essence of using rituals to create a special environment is to use materials and techniques at a specific frequency, like an equivalent exchange, to deceive the heaven and earth.

For a medium to do this, even if it was a one-off, is outrageous.

But what is even more outrageous is that at this moment, the surrounding environment was not forcibly changed by rituals, but the world spontaneously changed the rules of this piece, as if the medium was just a request to wake up the manager of the world.

And this is only the basics of Kuonji's magic tricks.

Only by creating an environment suitable for fairy tale magic can this system, which is more like magic than magic in the conventional sense, demonstrate its power.

By the way, although it is a disposable medium, the cost of this thing is also quite high. Most people have to work hard for three months to barely cover the cost of materials. This is also one of the main reasons why Kuonji Yuju lives such a tight life.

The monstrous Slit-Mouthed Man doesn't need ears, a mouth, or a brain, so he doesn't need language.

But even so, they had a premonition that the miracle that was about to happen would crush them to pieces.

The rules of the world spontaneously distorted and turned into the original scene.

Because nothing is born, it can accommodate any fantasy; because it represents chaos, it can ignore any rules.

This is the truth behind the fairy tale magic that is on the verge of collapse. She was originally breaking the rules. Before the battle even started, she dragged a magician who could only survive in the modern world into this kind of situation. Not to mention fighting, ordinary magic couldn't even interfere with the fairy tale magic of Kuonji Arizuma.

In this fairy tale world, there are no modern weapons, so even rockets are useless. Only the same mystery can be effective against fairy tale monsters.

This is the power of the fragments from the First Law. In the rules of this world, mystery is the more important criterion for determining strength than modern technology.

A mad man with a slit mouth pounced on Kuonji Yuzu, while the other ran away in fear.

The man with the slit rushed over, stepping on the water and raising his arms without hesitation. What appeared from his long sleeves were not human arms, but a terrifying kitchen knife with a blade about 50 centimeters long.

The arms are scissors and the mind is a demon.

Even a magus's strengthened body would be split in two from the torso if touched.

However, the cold current that froze the forest seemed to stop at Youzhu's low and calm call.

"Half a pound."

This is not an adjective, but the name of her familiar.

An inorganic creature in black and white, resembling a piggy bank, emerged from the darkness and stood guard over the girl. Like a lively ball, it took the initiative to meet the sharp blade. When it was cut in half, it immediately turned into a giant crocodile's mouth, depriving the man with the slit of all his freedom while twisting and turning.

The sharp teeth were firmly stuck in the shoulder of the man with the slit, and the invisible coldness continued to eat away at his body.

But before he could roar, his companion roared first.

That was the first time he discovered that they could make such angry sounds.

"Don't disturb this meeting, you dirty creature."

The voice of a third party suddenly sounded in the forest.

There was no sign at all, and I couldn't even tell where it came from.

But a reality that overturned the benchmark was still born.

"return!"

Youzhu frowned, reacted very quickly, and immediately called for his familiar.

The little pig that was holding the man with the slit mouth also obediently let go of its mouth.

"It was Ban Jin who loosened up first!"

"It was Ba Liang who let go first!"

In this noisy argument, the man with the slit mouth did not get any freedom. The black shadow wrapped around his body like a predatory beast.

Although he looked so fragile, his whole body was unable to move.

The man with the slit mouth felt like he was the words in a book, as if he could never go anywhere else.

This bizarre experience even surpassed many strangeness, illusion, ecstasy, coercion, icy purity, and the deep petrification caused by the mythical magic eye. Even after experiencing many constraints from drugs to magic, he still could not understand the shadow that bound him.

The thing that bound him was clearly a shadow, but it could not be explained by any rules. Even speaking about it was creepy, as if it did not belong to this world at all.

The man with the slit did his best to release his greatest malice.

It opened its mouth wide, revealing a magical eye that could paralyze the heart of anyone looking at it.

At close range, this move is an unavoidable death shotgun, but the invisible shadow didn't even tremble, increasing its strength little by little before swallowing it into its stomach.

In the last sight of the man with the slit, before he was crushed to pieces by the huge pressure, he saw the whole picture of the thing that destroyed him through his companions who were fleeing behind him.

It was a pool of shadows that moved like snakes. On the surface of the shadows, there was a blood-like color floating. Ninjas wrapped in black masks poked out from all directions, staring at the only girl left in the scene.

Jiuyuanji Youzhu's gaze became even colder.

"Who are you? You shouldn't be hired at this level, are you eyeing the Aozaki family's spiritual vein?"

The witch pursed her lips, which were gradually losing color due to the cold, and questioned in a decisive voice.

Being able to freely activate spells during her night feast and produce tangible results is enough to prove a lot.

A magician of this level would not take the initiative to get involved in trouble just for the rumored magic, so the spiritual vein of the Aozaki family is the only reason.

"What a shame. Magic is great, but it means far less to me now than it does to you, a pure-blooded fairy witch."

After using the dark shadow to devour the two slit men, the strange young man's voice sounded again, his tone full of appreciation.

"Such a basic method can achieve the necessary conditions I need. Although it was just a joke at the beginning, I am now really looking forward to the results of your bloodline."

This naked provocation made the already cold witch exhale white breath, her face turned frosty, and she quietly clenched her fists.
